WINDOW sasH.

Application tiled March 10, 1828. serial No. 260,629..

This invention relates to new and luseful improvements in window sashesand alms to lprovide a stationary sash structure for disposition withinthe usual wall frame and where 6 in the same includes a plurality ofhorizontal glass panels or panes, mounted at their ends or turningmovement. Normally the opposite longitudinal edges of these glass panelsv are in overlapping relation Whereas means is provided for ermitting ofthe simultaneous turning 'o all the panels upon their axes so that theroom may be properly ven tilated.

An important object of this invention rela sides in the provision of awindow sash of this character that is of very simple construe-- tionwhen considering the advantages thereof, and wherein the various glasspanels may be easily replaced when broken, thus overto coming therequirement of the re )lacing of a lar e glass panel now employe insliding an swinging sashes.

Furthermore, the use of a sash of this character will permit of theproper ventilation ot the room when the panels are moved to openposition, and this without any liability of draft or without anypossibility of rain snow and the like passing between sai anels.

With the foregoing and other objects in view as the nature of theinvention is better understood the same comprises the novel form,combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully, described,shown `in the accompanying drawings andclaimed.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters indicate correspondingparts throughout the several views:

Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical section through therockably mounted glass panel looking toward one vertical edge of thesash frame disclosing the means whereby the ends of the panels arerotatably mounted within the frame.

Figure 10 is a detail vertical section through one vertical side of theframe structure, this view being taken substantially upon the line 10-10of Figure 2.

Figure 1l isa perspective of one of the glass panels, and

Figure 12 is an enlarged transverse section taken substantially upon thebroken line l2-12 of Figure 3.

Now having particular reference to the drawings, A in Figure 1 consistsof a generally conventional wooden frame structure for disposition orarrangement within the building wall during the construction thereof.

The present invention per se consists of a pair of vertical frame unitsB-B for disposition againstthe inner sides of the vertical frame membersof the window frame A. Each unit B consists of a backingstrip 5 the rearvertical edge of which is formed with a relatively wide yinwardlyextending flange 6, while the forward vertical edge thereof is formedwith a relatively narrow inwardly extending flange 7. Arranged againstthe strip 5 and between the flanges 6 and 7 is a channel strip 8, saidstrips 5 and 8 being formed intermediate their vertical edges withspaced registering openings whereby the strip may be tightly securedtogether and to the sides of the window frame A by screws or otherfasteners 9. y

The outer edges of the rear flanges 6 of the said units B-B are bentinwardly upon the channel strips 8 and thence so formed as tovfacilitate the attachment of a suitable screen 10 between the sideframe units of the said side frame, seer Figure 2.

The channel strips 8 of the frame units B-B are formed at their outerfaces with circular pits or pockets 11, the inner wall of each of whichis formed adjacent the outer edge of the strip with an arcuate slot 12.

Furthermore, between the ends of each' of these slots the inner surfaceand outer wall of the channel strip is formed with an inclined radialslot 13. Rotatably arranged within each of the channel strip pockets 11is a pan shaped aunulus 1-1 formed centrally with a cross channel orslot 15 open at its opposite ends and within which is a suitable lining1G such as rubber or cement. Projecting through and movable within thearcuate slots l2 of the channel strip pockets and attached to therespective annulus 1l is a pin 16 the outer ends of which are associatedwith a vertical lever 1T arranged between the strips 5 and 8 of the saidframe units B.l The lowermost pin 16 is of elongated formation andprojects through the lowermost aunulus 1-l as disclosed in Iiigure 10.This lowermost pin is threaded for receiving a wing nut 18 which whenturned inwardly for binding engagement with the adjacent annulus willretain the lever 17 in predetermined position.

The invention furtherl consists of a plurality of glass panels 19, theopposite ends `of which are of reduced width for providing tongues 20-20for arrangement within the slots 15 of opposed annuli within the frameunits B-B. The width of these glass panels are such that theadjacentlongitudinal edges thereof will have overlapping relation whenthe annuli are rotated to move their slots to relatively verticalposition in which position the sash is entirely closed.

However, by releasing the wing nut 18 and drawing downwardly upon thelowermost pin 16 will cause the rotation of the annuli and consequentlythe rocking of the panels to any desired open position. Vilhenever it isdesired to move any of the glass panels it is only necessary to move theannuli until the cross slot-s 15 thereof register with the slots 13 ofthe channel strip 8 whereupon the panels may be slid from position.

Arranged beneath the lowermost panel 19 and above the uppermost paneland attached to the main` window frame A are cross strips 22-22 forpreventing the passage of air, rain and the like through the sash abovethe upper and lowermost. panels when the panels have been moved toclosed position.

Itwill thus be seen that I have provided a highly novel, relativelsimple and extremely practical window sas 1 construction that isy welladapted for all the purposes heretofore designated, even though I haveherein shown and described the invention as consisting of certain detailstructural elements it is nevertheless to b-e understood that somechanges may be made therein without affecting the spirit and scope ofthe appended claims.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new is:

l. In a window sash of the character described, a pair of spacedparallel frame units, a plurality of longitudinally spaced membersrotatably arranged within the inner faces of said frame units,horizontal glass panels arranged at their ends within said members,means whereby all of said members may be simultaneously rotated formoving the panels to open or closed position, the inner faces of saidmembers being cross slotted for receiving the ends of the glass panelsand said frame units being formed at their outer edges with slotswhereby when the member channels are in alinement with said slots saidpanels may be removed therefrom.

2. In a window sash of the character described, a pair of spacedparallel frame units,

a plurality of longitudinally spaced members v rotatably arranged withinthe inner faces of said frame units, horizontal glass panels arranged attheir ends with said members means whereby all of said members may besimultaneously rotated for moving the panels to open or closed position,said means consisting of a lever longitudinally movable within eachframe unit and connected to said members by pins projecting througharcuate slots in the inner faces of said frame units, and securing meansattached to the lower end of one lever projecting through the inner faceof said frame unit in a manner and for the purpose described.

3. In a window sash of the character described, a pair of spacedparallel frame units, a plurality-of longitudinally spaced membersrotatably arranged on the inner faces of said frame unit, horizontaltransparent panels secured at their ends to said rotatable members, anelongated member connected to said rotatable member whereby the same maybe rotated, a pin projecting from one end vof said elongated member andbeing threaded, a head on the outer end ofsaid pin, said pin adapted toproject through one of said rotatable members, and a member threadedthereon for binding engagement against the said rotatable member.

4. In a Window sash of the character described, a pair of spacedparallel frame units, each of said units being formed withlongitudinally spaced circular recesses, the inner walls of certainof'said recesses being formed with arcuate slots, circular members forrotation in the recesses, transparent panels arranged between opposingrotatable members, and means operable through said slot for rotatingsaid rotatable members.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

RICHARD S. KELLY.
